Biography
Dominick Rathburn was the captain of Royal Navy frigate HMS Furious, and in June 1756 Furious and HMS Royal Sovereign clashed with three French warships off Perce, Quebec, in New France (present-day Canada). Royal Sovereign was sunk, but Furious was saved due to the intervention of Shay Cormac's HMS Morrigan, which captured all three French ships. Rathburn gave Shay 1,500 pounds and 15 crew members as a reward.
